As a result, builders who have paid uncounted thousands of dollars in park, school and other fees to some 100 California cities can apparently get their money back, if they sue. The storm drainage problem is, admittedly, s serious one to Sunset, Clearfield and Layton, Mr. Gurr said, But ths problem was not crested by the home builders. Ths problem comes about through there not being sufficient natural channels on s direct line to the Great Salt Lake. Drainage from these communities has, necessarily, to go through areas enroute to the lake.
